Hello TTG community!

This guide will walk you through the process of installing Xell Launch on your Xbox 360 using a simple bash script. This script will handle downloading the necessary files, unzipping them, and copying them to the correct partitions on your Xbox 360's hard drive. Follow these steps carefully to ensure a smooth installation.

Proof of concept


Requirements
A computer with a Unix-based OS (e.g., Linux, macOS) or a Windows OS with a Bash shell (e.g., through WSL or Git Bash).
Internet access to download the required files.
Your Xbox 360 HDD connected to your computer.
Steps
Download the Script
Save the following bash script to a file named install_xell.sh.

==============================================================================

Start Script

==============================================================================
#!/bin/bash

# Prompt the user for the mount point of the Xbox 360 HDD
read -p "Please enter the mount point of your Xbox 360 HDD (e.g., /mnt/xbox360): " MOUNT_POINT

# Variables for file paths and URLs
XELL_LAUNCH_ZIP="XellLaunch.zip"
XELL_LAUNCH_SHORTCUT_ZIP="Xell-Launch-Shortcut.zip"
XELL_LAUNCH_URL="https://digiex.net/attachments/xelllaunch-zip.7168/"
XELL_LAUNCH_SHORTCUT_URL="https://digiex.net/attachments/xell-launch-shortcut-zip.7169/"

# Paths on the Xbox 360 HDD
APPS_PATH="$MOUNT_POINT/Partition3/Apps/XellLaunch"
CONTENT_PATH="$MOUNT_POINT/Partition3/Content/0000000000000000/C0DE9999/00080000"

# Check if the provided mount point exists
if [ ! -d "$MOUNT_POINT" ]; then
  echo "Error: The mount point '$MOUNT_POINT' does not exist."
  exit 1
fi

# Download the necessary files
echo "Downloading $XELL_LAUNCH_ZIP..."
wget -O "$XELL_LAUNCH_ZIP" "$XELL_LAUNCH_URL"

echo "Downloading $XELL_LAUNCH_SHORTCUT_ZIP..."
wget -O "$XELL_LAUNCH_SHORTCUT_ZIP" "$XELL_LAUNCH_SHORTCUT_URL"

# Ensure the target directories exist
mkdir -p "$APPS_PATH"
mkdir -p "$CONTENT_PATH"

# Unzip XellLaunch.zip and copy contents to Partition 3\Apps\XellLaunch
if [ -f "$XELL_LAUNCH_ZIP" ]; then
  unzip -o "$XELL_LAUNCH_ZIP" -d "$APPS_PATH"
else
  echo "Error: File '$XELL_LAUNCH_ZIP' not found."
  exit 1
fi

# Unzip Xell-Launch-Shortcut.zip and copy contents to Partition 3\Content\0000000000000000\C0DE9999\00080000
if [ -f "$XELL_LAUNCH_SHORTCUT_ZIP" ]; then
  unzip -o "$XELL_LAUNCH_SHORTCUT_ZIP" -d "$CONTENT_PATH"
else
  echo "Error: File '$XELL_LAUNCH_SHORTCUT_ZIP' not found."
  exit 1
fi

# Print completion message
echo "Xell Launch has been installed. You should see it under the Demo's section on the Xbox 360 dashboard."

==============================================================================

End of script

==============================================================================

Make the Script Executable
Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you saved install_xell.sh. Make the script executable by running

chmod +x install_xell.sh
Run the Script
Execute the script by running

./install_xell.sh
Follow the Prompt
When prompted, enter the mount point of your Xbox 360 HDD (e.g., /mnt/xbox360).

The script will then

Download XellLaunch.zip and Xell-Launch-Shortcut.zip from the provided URLs.
Unzip the contents of these files.
Copy the necessary files to the appropriate directories on your Xbox 360 HDD.
Completion
Once the script has completed, you should see a message indicating that Xell Launch has been installed. You can now find Xell Launch under the Demos section on your Xbox 360 dashboard.

Important Notes
Double-check Paths Ensure the mount point you provide is correct to avoid any accidental overwriting of data.
Permissions Make sure you have the necessary permissions to read and write to the Xbox 360 HDD.
By following these steps, you should be able to easily install Xell Launch on your Xbox 360, allowing you to boot directly into Xell Reloaded from the Microsoft Dashboard.

Happy modding!
